At one O'Clock Saturday morning the
fire alarm was sounded and the COM
panies soon found that DIR. Gasser's
house was on fire. The DIR. discovered
the fire soon after it started, gave an
alarm and went to work to put it out
being soon assisted by Messrs Jennings
and Wannemaker. The fire was near
ly out when the companies reached the
house and in a very few minutes it
was entirely checked. The damage
was light, not over $25 to the building.
The fire was in privy situated about
six inches from the wood addition to
the house The night watch saw
Thomas Booth come out Of the yard
few minutes before the fire broke out
and followed him to the Gates House
where he was stopping. A novel was
used to kindle the flame and it was
only partly consumed. This was the
night before left on shelf under the
counter in the Gates House and it is
pretty conclusive that Mr.. Booth set
the fire out of revenge to the DR.. for
pronouncing him insane. The Dr's.
house was insured with the Hartford.
Right here let us remark that a night
watch is a public necessity and Jack
Shellam deserves great credit for his
vigilance.

DR.. Vivian and II. III. Giles, two of

their criminals.
Mr.. Ryan expects to finish the earth
work on his railroad contract in about

is the most difficult on the hne. !

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at c. R.
Moffett's Drug Store as their giving
away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles Of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.
Cough, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Group, and all throat and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test it before
buying by getting a trial bottle free,
large size 81. Every bottle warranted.
